About our shower tray repair in Mount Florida

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mount Florida. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Mount Florida: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?

Everywhere in the UK, Mount Florida included. Travel is included in the price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mount Florida use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Signs you need shower tray repair in Mount Florida

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
